Poverty in the UK continues to rise, making it more important than ever to understand lived experiences of poverty. This paper responds to a gap in understanding collective experiences of poverty by analysing the affective atmospheres at three foodbanks in two British cities in 2014 and 2019. Drawing on ethnographies at the three foodbanks, it approaches affective atmospheres through Spinoza and a focus on capacity: the capacity of clients to be in a situation different to that of their current experience of food poverty; and the capacity of foodbank volunteers and managers in terms of how they desired the foodbank to be run. Overall, the paper argues that affective atmospheres at the foodbanks were formed by an ever-changing relation between these capacities through the past, present, and anticipated future, and the ongoing context of austerity.

紧缩十年中的三个食物银行：食物银行的情感氛围

英国的贫困率继续上升，因此了解贫困的生活经历比以往任何时候都更加重要。本文通过分析 2014 年和 2019 年在英国两个城市的三个食物银行的情感氛围来回应理解集体贫困经历方面的差距。 利用三个食物银行的人种学，它通过斯宾诺莎和对能力的关注来探讨情感氛围：客户处于与其当前粮食贫困经历不同的境地的能力；以及食物银行志愿者和管理者在他们希望食物银行如何运作方面的能力。总体而言，该论文认为，食物银行的情感氛围是由这些能力在过去、现在和预期的未来以及持续的紧缩环境之间不断变化的关系形成的。
